In 2005, a team from the government's Quality Assurance Agency conducted a thorough audit of UEL, resulting in the best possible award of 'Broad Confidence' in the soundness of our management, the quality of our programmes and the academic standards of our degrees and other awards.
UEL HISTORY
|
|
The University of East London received its charter in 1992, but traces its roots to the foundation in 1898 of the West Ham Technical Institute. The original Victorian buildings, including University House, the former municipal library and Passmore Edwards Museum, now form the historic heart of our expanding campus at Stratford.
At their Docklands site, London's first new university campus for over half a century was formally opened on the waterfront of the Royal Albert Dock by the new Mayor of London on his very first day in office in 2000. UEL Docklands campus was short-listed for Building of the Year for energy-efficiency, continues to win great acclaim for its iconic architecture.
